    Vce Language Analysis Essay Example

    Tattoos have recently become increasingly popular in youth, due to the hidden meanings and symbolism that they are endowed with. Helen Day’s opinionative blog entry, The Power of Ink, asserts that the significance of tattoos have diminished due to the fashionable aesthetics that tattoos project. A highly casual, yet acknowledging tone characterises her blog entry, which is predominantly catered to young Australian readers who are interested in receiving a tattoo. Accompanying her blog entry is a number of comments which both support and criticise the new phenomenon of tattoos. Poignantly complementing her article is an image of Ta Mako tattoos, a Maori form of body art, and the front cover of the written work “No tattoos before you’re thirty by San De Brilo.…

    It was during the Kibeho massacre in Rwanda. When a lot of people are being killed, and people know that they're going to die, they do things which take away their dignity. For example, they dig a hole and cover themselves with dirt and try to hide. The morning before I found the preacher I went to the latrines - they're just big holes in the ground with wood over them. I looked in one of these holes and there was a women looking up at me. She'd escaped the massacre by hiding down in this pit. She had a baby on her back and three children around her. We got them out...…

    Conflicting Privilege By Anna Le Pree Analysis

    It was a hot summer day, just a couple of months into my service in Kyrgyzstan; I was walking to catch the bus that would take me to work at the reproductive health NGO in town. I had a long flowing skirt on paired with a tank top, walking the dirt road to the bus stop, I heard the sound of bicycle wheels coming up from behind me, thinking nothing of it I just kept along my way. All of a sudden, I’m hit with such shocking force on my backside I let out a little scream. I could not believe that this boy on his bike just smacked my ass! As he rode off I tried running after him yelling, “Fuck you!”, “How dare you!”, “You asshole!” and watched as he looked back at me, laughing and sneering.…

    Examples Of Child Observation

    My family and I were at Joe’s Crab Shack in Round Rock and we were eating outside next to the playground. A family of 3 (Mother and 2 sons) were sitting about three tables away when all of a sudden I heard an outburst of crying and screaming. As I watched and paid closer attention to their conversation, I noticed that the child was crying because his mother would not let him play in the sand-filled playground until he had finished eating his food which he had not yet touched. The child would beg his mother and said “please mommy, I wanna go!” and she would say “No! You have to eat!” When his attempts at asking “nicely” failed he then started screaming bloody murder at the top of his lungs. His mother shushed him and told him that he would be able to play if he would be quiet…

    One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm, a mother was tucking her small son into bed. She was just about to turn off the light when he asked in a trembling voice, "Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?" His mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. "I can’t, Dear," she said, "I have to sleep with your daddy." After a long silence he said, "The big sissy."…

    How Does Karma Affect You?

    It was mid-January in Dickinson, North Dakota, where on average the temperature in January is fifteen degrees Fahrenheit. I was driving my son Trevor to school. I was halfway listing to my five year old endlessly yammer on about the things he was going to do at school and trying to pay attention the road. I noticed a figure in the distance jumping around. As I drove closer, the figure came into vision I noticed it was a man. On the corner of the street was a Liberty Tax worker. He was dressed as the statue of liberty. He was jumping around like his pants were on fire. My first instinct was to laugh, because he looked a fool bouncing around like he was. Then I grew sad. I wondered how long he had been out in the artic like temperatures to do advertisement for the company. I knew he must be cold and felt sympathy for him. I know when you have to be outside when it cold, sometimes the only way to stay warm is to keep moving, to keep your blood circulating.…

    Alejandra Fernandez Reflection

    There was someone at the exit of the freeway, these were two people that looked like a mother and a son. The mother was dressed in a coat that did not look bad at all, but she was really skinny. I can tell because she had practically no cheeks and her face wrinkled. She was so skinny and cold that she was shivering. I saw her son next to her, he looked about thirty or forty years old. He was holding a poster that said “PLEASE HELP. GOD BLESS.” When I first saw that I thought “Maybe the guy had to stop going to school to support his mom, and now they’re here.” My mom said, “Aww, I forgot my wallet, I could have given them money so they can buy themselves something to eat.” I just sat there and was thinking, trying to remember if I had any money with me. So I looked everywhere in the car as fast as I could, trying to find money before the red light turned green. And I found a few dollars curled up somewhere around the dashboard. My mom gave it to them and said “Here, buy yourself some…

    What Single Event Of My Life Defines Me?

    It was really early in the morning and the day was still dark. I remember the smell of the sea empowered by the storm from the night before. My father was a firefighter; he had to rescue more people than he can count, and there are still the cases when all he could do has recover a body for a broken family. For that he always reached me how to swim, how to act in an emergency and all the procedures that my 6 year old head could bear. My mom, in the other hand, is asmathic and has an medical historic that includes a bilateral dissection of the vertebrae. In short words she is not the best swimmer. That morning we decided to go swimming, as it seemed like the storms had stopped. We looked at the seen and it seemed calm, but what we didn't saw where the running water stream under the dark blue mirror. We got into the water, and in less than a few minutes I found myself fighting for air. The pain was excruciating; my lungs burned for air and my elbows and knees bleed from hitting the rocks. My eyes stinger from the salt, but I would not close them in the foolish hope to see my mother. I was in panic I tried all that I knew to get out of the stream, but I was too weak. Out of nowhere I felt an arm around me and a sudden breath cut through my small body making my hole self tremble. It was my father; he saw us and ran to save us. He lay me at the sand and run back for my mother. Amazingly we both were ok with minor bruises thanks to…

Medy (Pokwang) is a makeup artist living in the Philippines with her family, composed of her jobless husband (Noni Buencamino), a son (Aaron Junatas, and later, Rayver Cruz), and an infant daughter. She regularly does the make-up of a popular concert star, who later on chose her as a personal make-up artist in a concert tour in the United States. While in America, she met her former classmate Helen (Beth Tamayo) who convinced Medy to stay in the country to be an illegal migrant worker.

    The old lady was wondering to get cheese or not on her sandwich I watched as she was trembling to hurry up. All of a sudden the man let out a big sigh, the one for example depicts how tired you are, however in this case a perfect example of a non-respect giving human. I watched and looked around the subway noticing people talking with each other some eating quickly to get back to work. When I turned around the woman was now getting her vegetables, it was the teenagers turn to order. Both imbeciles let out a “FINALLY.” The line moved quick after the woman was done ordering she was ready to pay. When she opened her purse change scattered everywhere. Now the poor old woman was trying get down to pick it up. I couldn’t take it any more so I did what was right and went to get all of her change and return it to her. She thanked me and I felt really warm from the inside as if I was noticed for doing something. After it was all over, I ordered my food and got out of the subway.…
